Default RE: Finally shot a Liberty........and a ???

It was pretty quiet ! It didn't have any kick and stayed stable in my hand through the shot !!

???

But man .......I was really suprised at the hand shock !! Nothing a good stabilizer couldn't tame........but much more than I expected !!
CBM, my thoughts exactly. I was really taken back by that. It does seem to have a more pronounced "shock" than some of the others I shot. Yes, a stab will take care of it. When I shot it, it seemed to want to "jump" out of my hand too much.
So what are we talking about here? The way I interpreted CBM's post he felt that the bow had alot of vibration at the shot. The way I am interpreting MM's post the bow had alot of recoil.

Which is it?...or was it each for each of you gentleman?

If the bow had recoil then I would be willing to bet it was a timing issue. A quick check of the cam timing marks should help to determine that. If it was vibration then I would question where the vibrablocks were mounted on the limbs. That can have a signficant difference on the shot feel of the bow.

I am not entirely surprised in CBM's case though when considering the two bows being compared. I believe the mass weight and mass weight distribution comparison between the two bows in question is the answer to the perceived difference in shot feel.
